A Nerd In Disguise.

In the office where I am temping, we have an employee. Her name is MaryBeth Higginbotham. (not her first name, in case she googles herself.)

Frequently, I have to deliver faxes and mail to her. Each time that I do, I think to myself...

"Many Higginbothams had to die to bring us this information."

I am a nerd.

Cheers,
Mr.B

For those who are thinking, "Yeah? So?"
A "Bothan" is a species of creature in Star Wars. They are most well known for Mon Mothma's line, "Many bothans had to die to bring us this information" in Return of the Jedi. She is referring, of course, to the schematics of the second Death Star. Which Lando Calrissian eventually blows up.
One of the later prequels, actually showed a Bothan in a scene or two. The helpful red arrow identifies one in the picture, below.
